Description

Janet Carroll is delighted to offer Lugano, 6 Glenvar Park, for sale by Private Treaty. Situated just off Cross Avenue, close to Blackrock College, it is well positioned in a magnificent low density cul de sac setting in one of the prime residential locations in South Dublin. Most of the residents have enjoyed their forever homes here for over 60 years. Built c. 1948, these properties have qualities no longer found in new developments including low density housing, generous rear gardens, off street parking, no management fees, wide footpaths, mature landscaping, stroll to schools, settled neighbours and a front gated garden. An extended semi-detached 5-bedroom house measuring circa 1830sqft/ 170sqm, Lugano is presented in good condition throughout but in need of rejuvenation. It has a superb South West facing rear garden c. 99ft/ 30m long. The house is in original condition but extended in the 60's and provides discerning purchasers with a blank canvas on which to make their mark. It is a superb family home through and through, with many fond memories of music, gardening and art engrained in the essence of Lugano as one walks through it. Blackrock is one of the star performers of South County Dublin as it caters for such a variety of needs. For those with education in mind, it has some of the most prestigious schools, some of which are almost on your doorstep. Only a few minutes stroll to some of Ireland's Premier schools including Willow Park Primary School, Blackrock College, St. Andrew's International School, Booterstown National School and the Dominican Girls Secondary School. Blackrock Village is close by and boasts not one, but two shopping centres. Both are undergoing renovation, and will no doubt benefit the new owner of Lugano. Parks, walks, sporting clubs, sailing and more are all ingredients for a well-balanced lifestyle. Couple this with a Michelin starred restaurant in the local village (Heron & Grey) and you cannot help but envy all that this wonderful town has to offer! With excellent transport facilities in the area include the DART, the Stillorgan N11 and QBC making commuting to the city centre and surrounding areas extremely convenient. Number 6 offers a superb opportunity to become part of a wonderful neighbourhood and cannot fail to impress. The lifestyle offered in this special location is unrivalled. Viewing is highly recommended.
